The Malaysian Customs Dept may confiscate your helmet at points of entry.
It is to stop non-regulated helmets entering the country and made available for sale.

Firstly, the Customs Dept. recommends that Malaysians leaving the country with a helmet or two to declare the items. We may do so at the Customs office at points of disembarkation.

That’s because we may have a hard time convincing the officers that it was our personal helmet(s) that we brought overseas in the first place. We’ll have to pay a Customs Duty if we couldn’t convince them otherwise.

Secondly, for Malaysians, if we are question regarding a helmet in a box, it needs to comply with the said regulations, even if it’s for personal use. For example, it’s a DOT certified helmet with no other certifications. It will be confiscated if you did not seek prior permit from JPJ. (Due to suspicion of importing it for sale.)

Thirdly, if you are a foreigner travelling to Malaysia with a helmet that doesn’t meet those regulations, make sure it is for personal use. If you bring one together with a box, you may have it detained while seeking approval from JPJ or confiscated outright.

So please bear these points in mind lest you have your MotoGP star autographed helmet end up in the bin at the airport.

These steps by the ministries involved have been a long time coming, since many irresponsible parties have been illegally importing helmets that do not meet Malaysian safety regulations.

isn't this rules has been there since long time?

Dulu I think ada orang bawak balik hand carry tapi lepas. 
Now with this bunting at the airport, means no more chance ler... 

now the question is

will jpj approve like last time for own collection?

or langsung tarak approve at all.. no deal liao..

thts d main issue now...

not sure when the photo was taken.
is it recent or old. nobody care to clarify, when ministry of superbike first post it.
all those other media follow spread it.

some like pau tarn tried to contact kastam n jpj but hvnt got a respond.

this rule of jpj approving helmet is like few years old oredi.

if you search lyn u will find a post by a member who explained how he go jpj to get the approval done.
even jpj website hv tht form, and it was removed some time ago, but i managed to keep a copy.

it was no longer go miti to get permit like last time.

the importer of arai in msia.. kcl? wht wht, sent samples of arai helmet to sirim to get tested. thts y some? official arai msia helmet got sirim sticker.

if made in msia helmet. will need to have sirim sticker.

imported helmet tht hv tht ece 2.2.
jz need to get jpj approval, n get tht sticker to legally sell here.

but then if u search fb etc.. there r tons of online seller selling helmet.. dono made where, got no jpj or ece approved.
yet they still can import (under table)/kopi...

Klu baca dr online, as long as no permit, x blh.
Sbb helmet hand carry x de safety certification. 

If helmet got smell, dot, tuv... So need sirim/jpj?

Lol.

If helmet got smell, dot, tuv... So need sirim/jpj?

Lol.

either sirim/jpj or ECE22.05. must have either one or both.

These are the only 2 certifications recognized to be legal on malaysian roads...

all other certs dont matter.

u can have the most expensive snell rated helmet. itll be illegal on malaysian roads and they can legally confiscate it.

Meaning sirim jpj trying is better than tuv, dot, Snell?

Wow.

the normal flow chart is..

buy - rampas - apply@ jpj - claim frm kastam.

tht is for personal la..

ppl don apply first then oni go buy..

tht is for trade oni do tat...

Yes, that use to be the way. 
But perhaps now no more this way kot? 

Better than dot definitely

Some say even better than ece.

Even some say snell no good n ece is better
Like it or not, thats the ruling....which has been around for quite a long time edi

Sementara itu, Shaharuddin dalam sidang akhbar selepas mengadakan lawatan berkenaan berkata pihaknya kini sedang bekerjasama dengan Jabatan Kastam Diraja Malaysia (JKDM) dan Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna bagi membanteras kemasukan dan penjualan topi keledar tidak mengikut piawaian ditetapkan kerajaan.

"Sebarang kemasukan topi keledar dari luar negara perlu memenuhi standard Peraturan Malaysia Standard MS 1 dan Peraturan UNR 22. Bagi topi keledar mendapat persijilan UNR 22, penandaan pada topi keledar adalah berupa huruf E yang boleh didapati di tali pengikat dan cermin pelindung muka," katanya.

Justeru, beliau berkata penting bagi mana-mana pihak ingin membawa masuk topi keledar ke negara ini bagi tujuan simpanan atau jualan memastikan barangan mereka mematuhi peraturan berkenaan atau berdepan risiko ditahan dan tidak dibenarkan dibawa masuk oleh JKDM.
